i sent my order in my snail mail special delivery, and have just been told theyre processing it. i can't wait :D , this will be my first build, although i'm not worried at all since i worked in a pc shop for about 1 month voluntarily. leeched some experience, then left haha!. i thought it was so funny. a customer left in a pc with mobo problems. turned out they forgot to install the driver for it. it was a pretty old mobo, and I remember one of the pc tech's complainin that he couldnt find out what mobo it was. i showed him cpu-z, and its handy lil' motherboard tab, and he like died lol. :rolleyes: .

was originally gonna make a build around crimbo time late 05, but lacking money ( I only had a budget of £450 at the time) I put it on hold. My build is as follows:

Looks good. Well done for not buying a totally needless PSU like many people seem to. The Hiper is really nice. :)

Hit or a miss with the Hipers,i've had 2 pack in on me & so have countless others.Yewen(one of the forum mods) has just RMA'd his fourth Hiper,i do believe
Some don't have any problems at all,luck of the draw

Have a search through the forums & you will see for yourself
